Burning question: Have you seen a grown man cry?

This continues a series of burning questions I pose to my readers to hopefully spark some debate in the comments. This time...the topic is truly burning - what is the hottest meal you have ever eaten?

I put a little too much Wasabi sauce yesterday to mask not great store bought sushi my wife brought. And it singed my sinuses so bad I had to jump off the table in search of a Kleenex. Scared everyone around and I thought it was 911 time. Instead, I just cried for a few minutes. Wasabi is supposed to be an antidote to poisoned food. Darn thing kills everything!

Then I saw this post courtesy of Mike Krigsman and cried some more - and this post became burningly obvious -)

I am providing a list of my Scoville scale busting meals - unfortunately I cannot remember all the restaurant names.

a) Dipping sauce at a dive in Houston, with menus only in Spanish. I thought it was guacamole. It was pure jalapeno. Probably a habanero tossed in.b) Penang curry at an Indonesian restaurant in Amsterdamc) TomYum soup at a Thai restaurant in New Yorkd) Vindaloo at an Indian restaurant in Londone) a night at the Wall of Fire at the cajun Heaven on Seven in Chicago. f) a simple salad of mostly chopped onions and green peppers with some garam masala at a restaurant in India. What looked routine, and I must have distracted and kept eating it, ended up scalding my mouth for a couple of days.
